Oil will probably dwindle to a trickle in about 50 years.

Actual projections for oil are 120 years but lost of turmoil on availability in the next 50 years,, Coal 400 years, problems later on too.. Natural and other gases 210 years... all at current consumption rates (ZERO GROWTH)...
.....but the truth is they will all run out next week !!!!!

At Energy Encounter in Epcot, the narriator (Mr. Science?) says in about 60 years. Now it would be about 50 years.

Not likely to run out in the foreseeable future, but they will get progressively more expensive to get at. We leave lots of oil i the ground when a field taps out, because it's just too expensive to get it up.

this depends on who is giving the estimate. your best bet is to take the smallest estimate and cut it in half.
